Need a 6V battery....
Yes spend the extra and get the Optima, what a difference while cranking. It does sit side ways in the original box but stays in nice/tight after adding a piece of wood under some rubber shims.

Great choice of Battery. I use one in my 1934 Ford. |

The general group 1 6V for me have only realy served well for 24 months even keeping on a trickle charge then the cranking drops off rapidly. A typical parts store group one 6V every other year for 75-80 bucks or an Optima every 6-7 years for $225ish...well thats an easy one Last edited by 39portlander; 03-20-2022 at 08:13 PM. |

Re: Need a 6V battery....
The Optima Red Top 6 v is well worth the price. Bought one about a year ago for my 36 Cabriolet. Car starts quicker and seems to run better with the Optima. You can order direct from Optma.
